Case Study: Publiacqua achieves 7-8x faster disaster recovery and stronger cyber resilience with Cohesity

Water utility strengthens DR and cybersecurity posture —recovering data 7-8 times faster than before

Publiacqua, the Italian water utility serving 1.3 million people in Tuscany, needed a modern way to improve disaster recovery and cyber resilience after relying on slow tape-based backups. As critical infrastructure handling sensitive data, Publiacqua turned to Cohesity to protect its physical, virtual, and cloud workloads and to better support fast recovery after outages or cyberattacks.

With Cohesity, Publiacqua implemented backup and replication across two on-premises sites and added Cohesity FortKnox for an immutable cloud vault of its most critical data. The result was 7–8x faster recovery, 25–30 hours saved per week through automation, and lower operational costs, along with stronger confidence in restoring clean data after a cyber incident.
